Stan Nze slams idea of dying for a film role
Popular Nollywood actor, Stan Nze, has said it would be “stupidity” for any actor to risk their life in the name of role interpretation.
Speaking in an interview with The Nation, Nze explained that while he takes his craft seriously, it would be unwise to perform stunts that could endanger his life when there are professionals trained for such roles.
“Why would I risk my life jumping from a dangerous height in a movie? Jumping characters are done by stunt guys. That’s their job. They are called stunt actors who are well paid for such roles. They have the experience of how to jump and do other things,” he said.
The actor added that sacrificing one’s life in pursuit of being the “best actor” makes no sense, stressing that life goes on even if tragedy strikes.

“I’m not going to be foolish and jump a dangerous height just because I want to be the best actor in Africa, and then people go do one minute of silence and move on. It is stupidity.
I will only do the ones I’m meant to do, so that the stunt men can do their job too,” he added.
